One team in 'Pokémon GO' is getting made fun of way more than the others

Once you reach level five in "Pokémon GO," the game prompts users to choose a team from three different options: Team Valor (Red), Team Mystic (Blue), and Team Instinct (Yellow).

Each team is sort of like the houses of Hogwarts. They each have their own philosophies about how to train and interact with Pokémon. Team Mystic approaches situations from a very logical and academic perspective, Team Instinct relies on their intuition, and Team Valor values fostering a strong bond with their Pokémon in order to be the very best trainers they can.

People are becoming quite attached to their teams, encouraging others to join, creating their own subreddits, and buying swag to display their team colors proudly. And while it's all in good fun, one team in particular is being trolled harder than the others with lots of memes and jokes — Team Instinct.

Not only does Team Instinct seem to be the smallest team, at least according to a survey by gaming site Kotaku that has over 100,000 responses, but it's also become a running joke in the subreddit PokémonGO.

It's also spawning a ton of memes from other pop culture favorites.

Redditor Flux83 compared the three teams to "Star Wars" characters. While Team Valor and Team Mysic were equated with (the good) Obi-Wan Kenobi and (the evil) Count Dooku respectively, Team Instinct was an Ewok.
